I. Bigfoot Privacy Notice and Choices:
As part of the registration process for the Client Order,
you are asked to provide certain personal information
and (if applicable) credit card or other billing information.
The policy of Bigfoot is to protect the privacy of Bigfoot
Customers who are using any of the Bigfoot Services.
Please be aware, however, that as a condition of membership
and use of the Bigfoot Services, Bigfoot requires Members
to select areas of interest and thereby agree to receive
marketing materials from Bigfoot or third parties related
to those interests. It is the policy of Bigfoot to protect
the privacy of its Members, and thus Bigfoot will only
allow third parties to have access to information concerning
Clients ("Clients Information") in the following situations:
(i) Information to third-party suppliers in order for
them to perform certain functions as necessitated by
the Client’s use of any of the Services -- for example,
credit card numbers are sent to a credit card processing
company for billing. These suppliers are not authorized
to release this information to other third parties.
(ii) In cases where, in its discretion, it deems such
disclosure is required or appropriate in order to comply
with applicable laws and regulations.
(iii) Bigfoot is a commerce and advertising supported
business and the availability of the Services depends
substantially on its perceived value among marketers
that pay for advertisements and retail opportunities
through Bigfoot. Marketers seek to direct advertisements
and shopping opportunities to Members who have expressed
interest in a category relevant to the offer. Accordingly,
Bigfoot may provide Client Information (name and email
address, but never your credit/debit card information
or other payment information) to third parties for purposes
of providing you information about third party products,
promotions and services that are likely to be of interest
to Members. If at any time you decide you do not wish
to receive such third-party product information, you
may opt-out of future mailings by sending an email to
Bigfoot at help@bigfoot.com.
(iv) If the Client gives permission, requests products
that require identifying information for fulfillment,
or we are required to do so by law or regulatory authority.
(v) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this
Privacy Policy, Bigfoot reserves the right to sell or
otherwise transfer your Client Information to one or
more third parties in connection with a sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of Bigfoot or in
connection with the sale of all or substantially all
of the stock or ownership interests in Bigfoot.
Bigfoot may send Clients periodic emails containing
information about Bigfoot, administrative notices about
a Client's account (such as notices about pending activities),
updates on new Service features, usage tips relating
to the Services, information about Bigfoot or third
party products and services that are likely to be of
interest to you, and user satisfaction questions. Bigfoot
may also access user information for the following administrative
purposes: (a) to examine system accounting logs and
other company records to resolve email and other system
errors or problems and (b) for billing purposes.
II. Credit Card Information:
When using the credit or debit card to pay
for any of the Services offered by Bigfoot, unless otherwise
notified of its termination, Bigfoot will continue to
charge your account. Notwithstanding termination by
a Client of the Client Order, Bigfoot will not refund
any portion of the downpayment or any fees (except as
may be expressly provided in the terms and conditions
of Bigfoot ).
However, credit or debit card information given for
purposes other than payment of fees or charges associated
with the Bigfoot Services or to pay for any other type
of purchase, will only be used once to fulfill one order,
and Bigfoot will not store said credit card information.
Each User agrees to be financially responsible for contracting
any of the Services (as well as for use of your account
by others, including minors living with you) and to
comply with your responsibilities and obligations as
stated in this Agreement.
III. Children May Not Use the Services Without
Parental Permission:
Bigfoot adheres to the requirements of the
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA").
As such, children under the age of thirteen may not
contract Web Design services via Client Order (or other
Services requiring payment of a fee) and must always
ask parents or a legal guardian for permission, and
provide verifiable consent of a parent or legal guardian,
before becoming a member of Bigfoot and before sending
any personal information to Bigfoot, or anywhere on
the Internet. All other children should always ask parents
or a legal guardian for permission before sending any
personal information to Bigfoot, or anywhere on the
Internet. Parents are encouraged to regularly oversee
their children’s use of email and other online
facilities. When signing up for a Bigfoot account, children
should check with their parents before supplying any
information about themselves or their likes and dislikes.
As a condition of membership in Bigfoot (and may be
a condition of use of the Bigfoot Services), Clients
are required to provide certain information concerning
his/her interests and agree to receive marketing materials
from Bigfoot or third parties related to those interests.
The parents or guardian of a child should contact Bigfoot
at support@bigfoot.com if they wish for the termination
of the child’s Client Order. If Bigfoot determines
that the information has been provided by any child
without permission of a parent or legal guardian, Bigfoot
will immediately terminate the account and delete the
information from our records.
